engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.

	The exposure Limit for wireless
	mobile phones employs a unit of
	measurement known as the
	Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
	The SAR is a measure of the rate
	of absorption of RF energy by
	the human body expressed in
	units of watts per kilogram
S a f	(W/kg). The FCC requires
	wireless phones to comply with a
e ty	safety limit of 1.6 watts per
	kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC
	exposure limit incorporates a
	substantial margin of safety to
	give additional protection to the
	public and to account for any
	variations in measurements.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating

146positions specified by the FCC

with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government- adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
